Draft ECC Report 362: Compatibility Assessment and Updates

Overview

The Draft ECC Report 362 addresses the compatibility assessment between Mobile or Fixed Communications Networks (MFCN) operating in the 3400-3800 MHz band and Wireless Broadband Low/Medium Power (WBB LMP) operating in the 3800-4200 MHz band, alongside Radio Altimeters (RA) operating in the 4200-4400 MHz band.

Key Aspects

Key aspects of the report include updates on transmission power requirements, urging administrations to submit information on maximum base station transmission powers within their jurisdictions. Additionally, proponents are advised to verify the accuracy of conclusions outlined in the report.

Field measurement campaigns related to MFCN and radio altimeters are detailed, although they are not subject to the current public consultation. Two distinct sets of parameters were employed in studies, aligning with various models of radio altimeters and their respective interference tolerance thresholds.

Findings

Findings from the studies indicate adequate safety margins across most potential base station locations, ensuring compliance with Obstacle-Free Zone (OFZ) requirements.

The effective date of the report is August 19th, enhancing its relevance for stakeholders in regulatory decision-making and network planning.

The document is supplemented by 13 annexes providing further detailed information and supporting data.
